2018 Civic Sedan EXT manual trans

[SChin]

Help needed!
I am looking to buy a base plate for a 2018 Honda Civic sedan with a manual transmission. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I can't even find a tow dolly. Any help would be much appropriated.

If it can be flat towed: etrailer might help. Roadmaster would also be able to tell you. Call them. They are located in Vancouver. WA.

Try Blue Ox or Demco for the base plate. As far as a tow dolly, I had one a couple of years ago from Acme Car Tow Dolly. It had surge hydraulic disc brakes on the tow dolly. Very well made. We used it tow our car across the USA on several of our trips behind our coach.

Roadmaster make 2 of them for the hatchback, but the Sedan owners manual says:

Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motor home. If your vehicle needs to be towed in an emergency, refer to the emergency towing information.

Thanks for checking. I called Roadmaster and they said the car can't be towed behind a RV. They said it has to be towed on a flat bed.

Carvana has baseplates? Tow Dollies? The OP already has the car.

I should take the time to read it carefully, Thanks

Seems like it's getting harder every year to find newer LIGHT WEIGHT dinghies.

BTW just an FYI. I sold my 24.1 Vegas. We need a bigger one. We are looking for a used BayStar or a Tiffin. In the 30 to 32 foot range. My wife likes to bring all the convinces.

We had great luck with Roadmaster when we wanted to set up our 2020 Honda Civic Sedan Sport 6MT. See copy of a prior post related to this below. I will say that the Owners Guide for THIS Civic, THIS model, THIS model year clearly stated the vehicle is towable.

Roadmaster HQ is in Vancouver Washington.

Shout-out to Roadmaster! We just picked up our 2020 Honda Civic Sedan Sport MT (6 speed manual) after a custom baseplate installation (first for this vehicle) at Roadmaster HQ. We were looking for a (fairly) lightweight toad to pull behind our 2019 Thor Freedom Traveler A30 and came across this Civic, which isn't (currently) listed in the Toad guides I reviewed. The Civic's Owner's Guide specifies that the manual transmission version of this vehicle is indeed towable behind an RV, but our local CW and a small hitch shop weren't sure there was a baseplate that would fit. Fortunately, Roadmaster is just a two hour drive from our home so after communicating with them they were happy to create and install a baseplate for us...for free! This now means they can now outfit any such Civic with an identical baseplate. They also installed (at our cost, of course) the Invisibrake 8700 with remote monitor (module under the driver's seat), hooked us up with a Falcon All Terrain tow bar, and sent us on our way. Plug-N-Play! The customer service at Roadmaster was second to none. They answered the phone and responded to emails right away and were just very friendly and helpful. So if you're looking for a 4 wheel down toad and a very nice Roadmaster setup I recommend the 2020 Honda Civic Sedan Sport MT and Roadmaster without reservation
